About on Par with Zoro or Sanji, maybe a little stronger, maybe a little weaker, it depends on when he joins. If he joins after Dressrosa he would probably be on par to current Zoro/Sanji or be a little stronger, not by a lot but a tiny amount. The difference is that while Zoro and Sanji will have extreme growth throughout the series, to the point of fighting Admirals, Jinbe will probably stay at his strengh level for the remainder of the series.

I think making Sanji and Jinbe fight together was supposed to signal them being approx equal but maybe that´s just my interpretation. Their finisher certainly had the same scale.

I was thinking that might be a sign of rivalry that grows later on in the series. I was thinking either all three zoro, sanji, jimbie will rival ( that would be fun xD) or sanji and jimbie will become rival.

Personally I don't believe it will affect the M3; even in the F.I. Arc, he was paired wid Sanji to defeat Wadatsumi (not that either need help) and if it's a case bout bounty, Sanji's being the 4th highest didn't stop him from being top 3

Why are people ranking Jinbei 4th?! Unless Oda drastically drops Jinbei's power scaling, he is WAY stronger than Zoro & Sanji (based off what we've seen). This is a dude who fought in the War of the Best PRE-TIMESKIP and would've escaped unscathed were it not for his vow to protect Luffy. He fought ON PAR with Ace PRE-TIMESKIP.

I don´t think Jinbe is the kind of guy who is eager to show himself, the main rivalry always was Zoro-Sanji.
I stand behind what i said, Jinbe, Sanji and Zoro iwll be the "new" M3 and Luffy will be/is a tier above them.

He thought with Ace in his rookie year and still could not beat him. Ace was probably stronger than Luffy in his rookie year with the Mera Mera No Mi and all but still, it´s nothing too impressive. Jinbe´s strengths lie under water.

Yeah, I think Jinbei, Zoro, & Sanji will be the new M3. I TOTALLY agree.

I agree with @Hero Sanji. The current Monster Trio would be widened by Jinbei to become a Monster Quartett instead. Strengthwise, I'd say Luffy will stay #1, but between the others the gap isn't that great, in my opinion. Regarding the current situation, Jinbei might still be able to keep up with Zoro and Sanji, but sooner or later both will have surpassed him completely, for sure.
